I can't believe we have had Sadie for more than a year! If you have ever heard me talk about her you know how great she is. She is sweet, snugly, quiet, calm, and clean. Don't get me wrong, she gets into plenty of mischief but most of the time she is my silent shadow.
A few weeks ago we took her to the vet when she was showing symptoms of having a urinary tract infection. When we took her back to make sure the antibiotic had down its job we found out it was much more serious. After some tests and a few puzzling results we learned Sadie has cushing's disease caused by a pituitary tumor.
Reading about the disease really scared me at first. So far she really doesn't act sick at all. We were warned that the medication can have some unpleasant side effects but so far she is doing well. The medication regime is nothing compared to when she had her neck injury early in the school year.
